“Australia’s defense export control regime and critical technologies”

The Journal of Strategic Trade Control has published the article titled “Australia’s defense export control regime and critical technologies” by Lauren Sanders. 

The paper analyses how Australia can strengthen its defence export controls in response to the challenges posed by emerging and disruptive technologies (EDT). Insights from global models are drawn upon to propose strategic enhancements to Australia’s export control legislation, aiming to address critical gaps and harmonise regulations with EU and US standards. Australia’s ability to implement these significant changes is noteworthy, particularly given the concurrent legislative review, which aligns with both the ongoing Defence Strategic Review and the recent AUKUS agreement.
